'Hard Candy' Snaps Make Us Wonder: Is She MADonna or Edgy?

Just when I thought it was safe to go to bed, I accidentally ran into more outtakes of Madonna’s ‘Sticky and Sweet’ tour.

Photographed by Tom Munro, the pictures show a nearly emaciated Madonna up on a boxing ring wearing boxer trunks and various other boxing equipment.

The pop diva, faithful to the image she has cultivated for years, vamped for Munro’s camera in highly suggestive and erotic poses.

The question has been raised in Trend Hunter.com in lieu of a recent wave of Sticky and Sweet outtakes whether or not the pop icon is taking it too far for a woman her age. Well, as far as I’m concerned, I’m a laissez-faire kind of person, so Madonna’s shenanigans do not impact me in a negative way. On the contrary, I’m always eager to see what kind of stunt the woman will try to pull in order to shock people and thereby remain in the public discourse.
